What do I feed him?! 🤪

I say keep at it keep offering what you normally would along with the things you know he will eat. We had this recently for like a month I was beginning to worry she was surviving on snacks and air but then now she’s back to eating like normal again. We got to the point where we darednt look at her if she was eating through fear of her stopping if we distracted her! It was really hard work and frustrating x

Sometimes I feel like I’m not doing the right thing but I just ignore it. If he he eats happy days if he doesn’t eat much then I guess he’s not up for it. I will offer him something else but I’m just conscious of not making dinner a bad experience if he’s just not a big eater. I proper took for granted that he’d love food cause me and his dad are right piglets 🐷 It’ll get easier the more they can communicate I’m hoping!

Can you maybe add some extras on the side? I rotate certain favourites as a side such as sweetcorn, peas, boiled egg (the egg is random I know 🫠) but these are things that she eats and will then gradually explore the rest of her plate in her own time. Please don’t worry, toddlers are notoriously picky eaters and live off snacks half the time ❤️

We had this a couple months back and just seemed to be a typical toddler phase! We just kept offering things we knew he'd definitely eat (yogurts, fruit, etc) and then encouraging dinners he'd like but doing things like offering a sauce to dip in or serving it a different way or on a different plate/bowl seemed to get him interested. The sauce thing worked wonders especially if I sat and ate my dinner and let him watch me use the sauce first then he liked it because we had the same thing and it was new for him. He sometimes gets a bit funny with afternoon snacks but I usually play it off like im getting myself a snack, sit on the floor somewhere near him and wait for him to come close and offer him some of mine and then we usually will share what I'm having and its more relaxed for him than encouraging him too much when he's feeling fussy. Toddlers are notorious for being picky eaters I wouldn't worry too much as long as he's eating some bits throughout the day and not losing weight etc

I relate to the not looking at them eat 😂 I find just keep offering 1 or 2 things she likes with something for her to try works cause then I know she's still eating. She likes the kinds of meals that use a lot of ingredients and a lot of prep like Shepherd's pie, beef stroganoff, chilli con carne... but it's not always possible so sometimes I do just need to watch her have two bites of chicken and then give her a snack a little while later. I found eating with her at the same time (with preferably the same meal) really helped her in starting to eat more. But it also makes me feel very comfortable that she's still breastfeeding so even if she doesn't eat it, she'll still get it at bedtime cause I ate it 🥺

From a mum who's eldest survived on tuna sandwiches, yogurt and snacks for a good year (I'm talking tuna sandwich breakfasts) as long as they aren't loosing weight try not to worry. Which i know is the hardest thing, I spent 18 months fretting over my daughters eating habits, she's now 4 and a half and still isn't a big eater but will now eat way more than before. I feel you though, I had no clue and got so stressed about it. I think some children are just not big eaters and a little fussy. I found when my eldest went to nursery that helped x
